Hi Violet,
Like Soaring Bird, I have not particularly noticed this phenomenon with astral travel; although, certainly it is understood that the 'experience' one undergoes as the body, mind and spirit prepare for conscious astral travel is perhaps in certain respects, similar to the 'palpitations' you have described although relating that same phenomenon to astral travel, it is perhaps more accurate to say the whole 'body' itself seems to be racing.
As for other spiritual practices, in my experience, working with the Azurite crystal at your frontal/rear Throat/Third Eye Chakras can cause palpitations and this is not particularly good which is perhaps, although left unsaid, many crystal authors advise working with Green Jade in conjunction with Azurite or perhaps in an interchangeable manner. This is because Green Jade regulates heartbeat.
As to why Azurite causes palpitations, this is not entirely clear yet it could be supposed that the deep psychological work on one's consciousness that can be undertook by working with this crystal can create imbalances of energy flows; perhaps it is this which can cause palpitations. Logically, it would be a next step to say this is why Green Jade does regulate the heartbeat because this balances energy flow. In any case, I would strongly advise the use of Green Jade either in conjunction or used interchangeably if one works with Azurite.
All the very best, K.
